BODY CONTROL UNIT

86-3-30 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

Interior courtesy lamps
To determine when to provide an interior courtesy lamps enable output, the BCU checks the following input 
conditions:

l

Ignition state.

l

Transit mode.

l

Driver's door open.

l

Passenger or rear door open.

The courtesy lamps operate at full brightness when they are first switched on. The BCU then gradually dims the lamps 
(fade-out) before completely switching them off. Fade-out occurs over a period of two seconds following the logical 
control signal to turn off the lights. When a door is opened, the BCU provides earth paths from the interior lamps, the 
load space lamp and the ignition switch illumination. The following table lists the courtesy lamps operation and 
duration for holding the lamps on that occurs after the BCU has detected a condition that signals the courtesy lamps 
should be switched on:

Instrument pack
The BCU communicates with the instrument pack to provide a range of functions.

Odometer update
The BCU can be programmed for one of two options:

l

Option 1 – no odometer error warning.

l

Option 2 – odometer error warning.

In order to provide an LCD flash request to the instrument pack via the communications link, the following inputs are 
checked:

l

Ignition state.

l

Instrument pack odometer value (via the communications link).

l

BCU odometer value.

The function is only active when the ignition state is on. The maximum allowed value is 999,999 miles (1,608,999 
km).If the instrument pack odometer value is greater than the maximum allowed value, the maximum value is 
assumed. The BCU odometer value is stored in EEPROM. If 16 identical values of the instrument pack odometer 
reading is received consecutively, the instrument pack odometer value is compared with the BCU odometer value. If 
the consecutive readings from the instrument pack differ, the BCU odometer value is incremented accordingly. If the 
BCU odometer value is less than the instrument pack odometer value by up to 10 km, the BCU odometer value is set 
equal to the instrument pack odometer value.

If the odometer warning option is enabled, and the contents of the instrument pack odometer value buffer is  identical 
to, or greater than BCU odometer value 

±

 10 km, the BCU sends an LED flash request to the instrument pack.

In the event of a communications link failure, this function will be unable to operate.
